Positive Pay Overview
The positive pay feature (sometimes referred to as safe pay) allows the user to export a list of checks from R365 in a format to be uploaded to the bank. The purpose of the upload is to alert the bank of these checks so they can be cashed. This is a service offered by many banks to ensure that only approved checks can be cashed.
On the bank form, set the Positive Pay Report field with the name of the positive pay format for your bank and Save & Close. If unsure of the format name, contact R365 support to get the name.
